Alocasia 'Silver Dragon' 12/tray
4ALDSBP06
Origin
The Philodendron scandens, also known as the heartleaf philodendron, originates from Central and South America. The plant grows in the rainforests of these regions, where the climate is warm and humid. The rich, well-draining soil in which the plant naturally grows, provides the perfect conditions for its growth and development.
Characteristics
The Philodendron scandens is known for its heart-shaped leaves that have a vibrant green colour. The plant has a climbing growth and under good conditions, it can turn into an extensive vine, although in the domestic version it often remains more compact. The leaf stems are long and flexible, which contributes to the climbing nature of the plant.
Care
A Philodendron scandens requires regular but moderate watering. Excess water can cause root rot, so it is important to let the soil dry slightly between watering sessions. The plant thrives best in indirect light and should be protected from direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves. High humidity, similar to its natural rainforest environment, is also essential for this houseplant's wellbeing.
